November Beta Leak Dissection
These are posted in order of appearance in the game files and do not reflect the flow of the story in the game, intended or final. Breakdown is per-post-on-the-subject. If you'd rather read everything yourself, not in a "juicy quote only" format, the unedited, unaltered, uncensored dumps are here.
One - original Thessia ending forces Virmire-like choice on Shepard.
Two - meet General Armitage, TIM's OTHER Very Important Servant, and his bodyguard, the enigmatic Zaeed Messani! Why does Aria want him dead? Also in this issue: more lines for Tali/Shepard meeting at the Flotilla and hints at ]!
Three - Sanctuary introduced the Pariah, a mind-controlling Husk... Also, Cerberus works FOR Reapers, not AGAINST them! Also, Sanctuary still functions as haven, while horrible experiments happen underground. Shepard has to infiltrate without sacrificing civilians! Also in this issue: From Ashes ends with Shepard at Citadel Tribunal, judged for "unacceptable civilian casualties" (caused in reality by Cerberus), Shepard de-SPECTREd at Udina's suggestion! From Ashes STARTS with statue in Shepard's honour on Eden Prime! Legion's lengthy speech on why the Geth deserve to be true AIs!
Four - Every questline and dialogue line related to Eve was adapted from questline from a different planet about a different race. This includes Kalross and the Ancient City! Also in this issue: squad banter from Rachni mission and teasing Tali about Rannoch!
Five - What is the Pariah? Also: lots of banter and dialogue cut from Rannoch, one deleted sidequest from the Citadel (about a guy bounced from a bar who forgot his datapad inside).
Six - From Ashes had Javik going all Jack-on-Purgatory on Cerberus due to side-effects of cryo-storage! Also: more scenes from introduction trial of Shepard!
Seven - original version of Kasumi's mission was about hunting for Cerberus spies on the Citadel. WITH GUNS. Also: Thane's personal quest, "Dalatrass Smith of the Salarians", and a MUCH MORE COMPLEX chain of possible approaches and outcomes for the Rannoch Peace scene!
Eight - Kal'Reegar and Fire Team Taurash re-enact the Guns of Navarone on Rannoch! Joker names a planet! Thane's mission revealed! Jacob's and Brynn's mission was relevant to the plot and originally covered the plothole of "Where does Kai Leng go from Thessia and how in the SPACE MAGIC did we find him?!" Finally, original version of Citadel Coup Standoff, featuring Thane dying a hero and the VS having a legitimate reason to shoot Shepard in the face!
Nine - Citadel Coup Standoff variations, more intel on the Thane/Kolyat mission, Hackett's diary, Eden Prime Massacre and how it ties into the Citadel Coup plotline.
Ten - Various permutations of Citadel Coup outcome (who lives, who dies, how Shep is rewarded, how VS is handled), ] (I **** you not!). Oh, and also Kai Leng established as a credible villain because he never even appears on Horizon or the Citadel missions, but instead on Eden Prime and Thessia.
Eleven - Variations of the Coup Standoff, variatons on Thane's death (much more dignified and heroic than in the final game!), the true plot of Lessuss - ], for Rila and Falere were the only ones alive in the entire galaxy.
Twelve - Lots and lots of Javik being ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. Also in this issue: Udina plays Dr. Breen from Half-Life, prototype plot layout for Cronos Station, plot layout for Anderson/TIM standoff on the Citadel, and... could it be... new trinkets for the Captain's Cabin? Oh, and Yeoman Sharon Allers to the Shepmobile!
Thirteen - "WE NEED A REAPER GENOPHAGE!!!!"; Also in this issue: Kaidan "watches the Commander in action", Joker and EDI debate Quarian sanity in their war on the Geth, Javik revealing Prothean name for Thessia.
Fourteen - More coup consequences, Kai Leng is not incompetent buffoon but real soldier, Volus General, crew reacts to C-SEC deaths in the coup, Sha'ira the Consort, and signs that Priority Earth was supposed to be Collector Base 2.0.
Fifteen - Consequences of Arrival on prologue, Kasumi's alternate mission, Shepard argues with Vendetta, more bits and bobs about AY monastery, Captain Greg Cortez, Ken and Gabby recruited, Jack teaches class.
Sixteen - A quest to root out Cerberus spies post-Coup, extra banter for the Tuchanka Shroud level, Reaper God, additional lines for Kahlee Sanders and Bailey, Garrus doubting the usefulness of C-SEC, Ashley's infamous afterlife talk, Liara's relief efforts and new Aria lines.
Seventeen - ARIA WAS BANGABLE, more dialogues from the spy hunter quest, The Briefing Dossiers, Coates being awesome, alternative Blood Pack recruitment mission.
Eighteen - More backstory to Sanctuary, more alien generals offering their fleets in exchange for services rendered, crumbs from Retake Omega, Cronos Station: Suicide Mission v1.1, Emily Wong's real role in the game.
Nineteen - Diana Allers' obituary, recruiting Allers, talking about Quarian logic, Kelly's biography, sex with Kelly, James is romanceable, more Omega, first appearance of Starchild in the script, end of the script =)
ROUGH DRAFT OF THE GAME'S PLOT - this is mostly plot blurbs, with the occasional bit of actual cutscene script thrown in. Ordered according to order of events gleaned from the above mining, NOT in the way as it is in the final game.
